No sound in Blender 3d: fixed but not confirmed.

[Knapp]

I have just spent half the day getting sound in Blender.
7:10 BTW
you must add
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
to
/etc/environment
Could someone please verify this because I tried a lot of things.
To test open blender3d
add in sequence window an MP3 and press the play button. You should have sound.
Thanks

PS Blender 3d is a wonderful compositor and sequencer that most would
not think to use for video work.

Search Youtube for blender sequencer and compositor examples.
If you want to learn the software be sure to watch the first 3
graybeard vids before you even start the program. It is a bear the
first week to use. It is made for pros and is fast but complex.
